Plant Tissues

6. Ground tissue made of thin-walled living cells for storage and photosynthesis.
9. A vascular tissue that transports organic nutrients such as sugars.
10. Region of ground tissue in roots and stems that stores food and helps with transport.
11. A vascular tissue that transports water and minerals from roots to leaves.
12. Layer of elongated cells in leaves where most photosynthesis occurs.
13. Region of growth at the tips of roots and shoots.
15. Plant tissue with dead, thick-walled cells that provide rigid support.
16. Undifferentiated cells responsible for plant growth through cell division.

1. Protective outer layer on leaves that prevents water loss.
2. Leaf tissue with loosely packed cells allowing gas exchange.
3. Points on a stem where leaves or branches are attached.
4. Kidney-shaped cells that control the opening and closing of stomata.
5. Outer layer of cells covering leaves, stems, and roots.
7. A supportive plant tissue with unevenly thickened cell walls.
8. Pore on the underside of the leaf that allows gas exchange.
14. Tiny extensions from root epidermal cells that increase surface area for absorption.
